Brief Description

Waardenburg Syndrome is a group of genetic conditions involving pigment and hearing loss.

Pigment anomelies for this condition include Vitiligo (patches of non-pigmented skin), and poliosis (white hair) – the most ‘characteristic’ of this condition being a white forelock. Heterochromia iridis – two differently-colored eyes, are the calling card of this condition.

Hearing loss for this condition usually ranges from moderate to profound.
